Viking Therapeutics said Tuesday that its closely watched oral obesity drug had succeeded in an early-stage trial and that it planned to advance the medicine into the next phase of development.

The top-line results released Tuesday were only from a Phase 1 study, which primarily focuses on a drug’s safety. But Viking said that in the study, its medicine led to a roughly 3.3% placebo-adjusted average weight loss after four weeks and that it showed no safety issues.

In preview notes, analysts had said that investors would want to see between 3% and 4% placebo-adjusted weight loss. Shares of San Diego-based Viking were up more than 20% in pre-market trading Tuesday.
